Rock of Ages 2 Bigger & Boulder Releasing August 28th

IRVINE, Calif - Aug. 15, in the year of our Lord 2017
- Aesthetes, petrologists, and art historians rejoice! They say
that the past is etched in stone, but it's time to smash those
preconceived notions into oblivion because Rock of Ages 2:
Bigger & Boulder will be coming digitally to Steam, PlayStation
4, and Xbox One end of August! Release dates for each platform
below:

This part Tower Defense, part Racing, part Art History lesson,
and all-smashing game from ACE Team is the rocks to the wall -
or should I say rocks to the wall, am I right? - sequel to
2011's deliciously off-beat Rock of Ages. In the game, players
navigate artistic worlds, taking turns in defensive and
offensive roles in an attempt to bash open the enemy's castle
and stomp them into a historical footnote.

In Bigger & Boulder, Atlas (no relation), the Greek Titan that's
tasked with the eternally dreary job of holding up the sky, has
literally dropped the ball and must run through different
periods of Art History to escape the consequences. And he'll
take all of the support he can get, because prominent figures
throughout history are getting in his way; there's no time to
gather moss - start smashing down those gates! The conquerors in
the game are each representative of their different periods of
Art History, from Early Renaissance to Surrealism, and are
presented in the series' quirky, Python-esque, cut-out animation
style.

One of the major changes to the gameplay in Rock of Ages 2 is
the emphasis on co-op and competitive play, where up to four
players can strategically plan their victory by way of merciless
destruction via boulder! There's also been a complete revamp of
how resources are accrued in the game, so players will not just
have to defend their own castles, but resource nodes as well!

Rock of Ages 2: Bigger & Boulder features include:

Up to 4-person Multiplayer - A little friendly competition never
hurt anyone, so that's why ACE Team decided to up the
gate-smashing stakes by beefing up the multiplayer features of
the game. Play with up to four players online or locally in a
2v2 match to the crushing death with the ability to customize
banners and colors for your "units." Plus, the tracks now
intersect, so you can knock the enemy rocks to get an advantage.
Utter Chaos - Expanding on the first game with a more diverse
selection of units and a larger focus on rock-smashing strategy
in Bigger & Boulder, chaos reigns supreme! Just don't take each
turn for granite!
Improved Physics and Destructible Environments - Developed in
Unreal Engine 4, Rock of Ages 2 has upgraded physics. Crack,
crush, slam and flatten more! It's the most fun you can have
rolling rocks down a big hill!
ACE Team's Trademark Quirkiness - With humor turned up to 11,
players will literally (well, digitally) rock and roll through
the ages. Famous historical and mythological figures beware.
Historically Inaccurate Bosses - Take on works of art come to
life in boss battles featuring the likes of The Thinker and the
Great Sphinx, leading up to the all-powerful final boss in a
showdown like you'd never imagine!

Rock of Ages 2: Bigger & Boulder will be available digitally on
Steam, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One. The standalone game will be
priced at $14.99 on all three platforms with Xbox One players
receiving 10 percent off their purchase during the first week.
The game will also be available in a bundle on PS4 and Steam
which contains:

Rock of Ages 2 + Classic DLC Pack + Rock of Ages ($19.99) - This
package includes Rock of Ages 2; the Classic Pack which features
the Smiley Boulder; Sisyphus avatar and three army banners; and
the original Rock of Ages.

There will also be two DLC packs available at launch as well:

Binding of Isaac Pack (Free) - This DLC contains a very special
Isaac boulder, three avatars (Isaac, Azazel, Blue Baby), and
three Isaac-themed banners. This pack will be available for four
weeks following release with all purchases of the game.
Classic Pack ($1.99) - This DLC is free for those on Steam and
PS4 who own Rock of Ages and sees the return of the Smiley
boulder and Sisyphus avatar, as well as three new banners. For

pricing in Europe.
